Evaluation of ejection fraction in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Authors

Abstract:

Introduction: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a reperfusion strategy to increase life expectancy and ejection fraction (EF) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We investigated the effect of location, severity, type of lesion, number and type of vessel involved and time of angioplasty on the increase in EF in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI (P-PCI) and Rescue PCI(R-PCI). Method: patients were divided into two groups, who underwent angioplasty in the first 12 hours (P-PCI) (without receiving fibrinolytic drugs) and patients who underwent angioplasty within 12-24 hours after R-PCI. Results: The most type of lesion diagnosed in patients was type B (61.4%) and the most common vessel involved in patients was Left Anterior Descending artery (LAD) (60.2%). The most common region involved was diagnosed as Anterior-STEMI (56.8%) (ANT-STEMI). There was no significant difference in EF increase between the two groups (P-Value=0.2). 40 days later a significant difference between EF for involved area was seen (P-Value < 0.001). The highest and the lowest EF were, in patients with involvement in inferior (INF-STEMI) area, STEMI (46.2 ± 5.9) and ANT-STEMI anterior wall STEMI (32.2 ± 6.4). Also, the highest EF was in patients with Right Coronary Artery and the lowest EF was seen in LAD involvement (P-Value < 0.001). There was no difference between the patients for lesion type (P-Value =0.2). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the LAD vein and the ANT-STEMI area are the most involved areas in STEMI patients, which lead to a greater decrease in EF.

Corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count and ejection fraction in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the associations between corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count (CTFC) of the infarct-related artery (IRA) and ejection fraction (EF) after three-six months in patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS CTFC was determined by a digital system...

Efficacy of Adenosine in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Whether adenosine offers cardioprotective effects when used as an adjunctive therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial.To evaluate, via meta-analysis, the efficacy of adenosine in patients with AMI undergoing PCI.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane C...

Percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction.

857 R of the infarct-related artery (IRA) by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) limits the size of the infarct and preserves left ventricular (LV) function. In the 1980s, various randomized trials using thrombolytics that enrolled thousands of patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-elevation (STEMI) demonstrated the clear superiority of these agents over placebo in terms of maj...

Percutaneous coronary intervention in stable patients after acute myocardial infarction.

Reperfusion after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the cornerstone of the initial therapy. Although reperfusion can be accomplished with either primary angioplasty or fibrinolytic therapy, clinical trial data reveal improved outcome with primary angioplasty. Furthermore, primary angioplasty with coronary stenting results in less repeat revascularization than balloo...

Survival of elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess clinical outcomes of elderly patients (age >or=75 years) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) in a contemporary multicenter PCI registry. BACKGROUND Although benefits of early PCI have been shown in younger groups, few studies have reported on clinical outcomes in elderly s...
